Reconfigurable decorative plaques

Abstract

Decorative plaques are achieved by various interconnections of independent tiles. The tiles are configured with connector regions uniformly spaced about the peripheries thereof such that they align with the joint regions of other tiles in various end configurations. A friction-fit connector is used to interconnect the tiles at the paired recessed regions. No glue or permanent interconnection media is used, such that the connectors can be removed and the uniformity of the tiles accommodates repositioning and reorientation to achieve a plaque of a new or different configuration, as desired.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A decorative plaque, comprising:
 a plurality of tiles releasably, selectively and interchangeably interconnectable with each other; and   at least one removable and replaceable connector interconnecting adjacent tiles and thereby forming the plaque.   
     
     
         2 . The decorative plaque according to  claim 1 , wherein said tiles have recessed regions along edges thereof for selectively receiving said connector. 
     
     
         3 . The decorative plaque according to  claim 2 , wherein said connector is matingly received in opposed recessed regions of immediately adjacent tiles. 
     
     
         4 . The decorative plaque according to  claim 3 , wherein said recessed regions of immediately adjacent tile edges establish a continuous cavity receiving said connector. 
     
     
         5 . The decorative plaque according to  claim 4 , wherein said connector mates with edges of said cavity with a friction fit. 
     
     
         6 . The decorative plaque according to  claim 5 , wherein said cavity has a width interior of an associated tile edge that is greater than a width of said cavity at said tile edge. 
     
     
         7 . The decorative plaque according to  claim 6 , wherein said cavity is of a truncated triangular configuration extending inwardly from said tile edge. 
     
     
         8 . The decorative plaque according to  claim 5 , wherein each said tile of the plaque has edge lengths that are an integral multiple edge length of all other tiles in the plaque. 
     
     
         9 . The decorative plaque according to  claim 8 , wherein a face of said tiles contains a motivational presentation. 
     
     
         10 . The decorative plaque according to  claim 9 , wherein one of said tiles comprises a picture frame. 
     
     
         11 . The decorative plaque according to  claim 10 , wherein one of said tiles has a hanger slot cut into a back of one of said tiles.
